1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: Using whole spine sagittal T2 MRI, we aimed to compare the severity and prevalence of disc degeneration (DD) in axial SpA patients Methods: Two prospectively collected cohorts of SpA patients ( Results: SpA patients had lower prevalence of DD ( Conclusion: SpA patients had lower DD severity than the general population. Males had higher mSASSSs, and increased mSASSS at later disease was associated with less severe DD.
